Chisosa Huber, 2000

Notes

This genus currently contains three species: the type species C. diluta (Gertsch & Mulaik, 1941) from Texas, USA; C. baja (Gertsch, 1982) from Baja California, Mexico; and the recently described C. caquetio Huber, 2019, previously known from Curaçao and Aruba only. The last species is here newly documented for mainland South America. This is the only known indigenous member of Arteminae in Venezuela . Other Arteminae in Venezuela are introduced [ Artema atlanta Walckenaer, 1837; Physocyclus globosus (Taczanowski, 1874)]. Together with the Chilean genus Aucana Huber, 2000 (whose position in Arteminae needs to be confirmed) it is the only indigenous member of Arteminae known in all of South America.
